I would wait until McGraw-Hill fixes the electronic edition before purchasing a copy.
Has anyone else out there had a problem with their Kindle version TOC?

Whether you are interested in fixed income from a qualitative or a quantitative perspective, you are strongly advised to stay away from this book. First it is poorly written, extremely wordy and perplexingly disorganized. Second there is no serious discussion of the ideas and mathematics used to price the securities treated. A few mathematical formulas with zero motivation whatsoever are thrown here and there. Where the formulas ... Read More
